٧٠۔٥ باب التَّيَمُّنِ فِي الأَكْلِ وَغَيْرِهِ

[Machine] Umru bin Abi Salamah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Eat with your right hand."

قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ

bukhari:5380ʿAbdān > ʿAbdullāh > Shuʿbah > Ashʿath from his father > Masrūq > ʿĀʾishah

The Prophet ﷺ used to love to start doing things from the right side whenever possible, in performing ablution, putting on his shoes, and combing his hair. (Al-Ash'ath said: The Prophet ﷺ used to do so in all his affairs.)  

البخاري:٥٣٨٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُحِبُّ التَّيَمُّنَ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ فِي طُهُورِهِ وَتَنَعُّلِهِ وَتَرَجُّلِهِ وَكَانَ قَالَ بِوَاسِطٍ قَبْلَ هَذَا فِي شَأْنِهِ كُلِّهِ
